The Scottish Borders offers many opportunities for walkers – from the long distance St Cuthberts Way to the many walks through small quiet roadways, along riverbanks and in the local forests. From the house you can walk to the summit of Ruberslaw (1392ft) and take in the wonderful view of Teviotdale or take a leisurely stroll along the banks of the River Teviot. Denholm is on the Jedburgh to Hawick section of the Borders Abbeys Way circular walking route.
Just over a mile from Denholm is the 18 hole Minto Golf Course. This parkland course has a lovely clubhouse.Whatever your standard of golf this course is well worth a visit.
